It is three o'clock on Good Friday. According my sources, this was the time the Passover sacrifice was made for the Jewish nation. At the temple, a lamb was killed for the nation. And at the same moment (Mark 15:34), outside the city, God's Lamb cried out, "It is finished!"
The Shepherd had lain down His life for the sheep. I see the world around and outside go on as before, but this event changed history. And God's reconciling the world to Himself in Christ calls for a response from every living being. Will we receive Him, claim Him for our sacrifice, to take our place and take our guilt for our sins? Or will we walk on by, glancing at the crosses on the side of the road, but going about our own business, seeking to save our lives and in the process losing them?
